Chrono was sleeping and Rosette was sitting in a chair next to the bed, praying. Remington came in and saw Rosette.
"You know you're praying for a devil," he said, with a smerk on his face. Rosette opened her eyes and smiled at him.
"I know, but I've grown to accept him as a human. Of course I was a little afraid when I first met him, but he was kind and gentle. It was not as I expected. My... brother Joshua liked him too," Rosette said. Chrono winced in his sleep.
"This devil can not stay here forever, you know that as well. Sister Kate is already against his staying here," Ewan said.
"Yes. Azmaria and I will take Chrono somewhere safe. But for now while he's like this..." Rosette started to cry.
"I'll talk to Sister Kate and convince her to let him stay a little longer," Ewan said.
"Thank you," Rosette said, whiping the tears from her eyes as Chrono woke up. Remington left and Chrono smiled.
"Were you crying?" He asked.
"I never got to finish... I think I'm in love with you," Rosette said. Chrono's eyes widened.
"I thought... you were a sister," he said, quietly. Remington was still outside, listening. He left down the hall and saw Azmaria walking towards the room.
"It's okay. We are allowed to love. In fact, we are pushed to. It's just looked down upon to fall in love with a devil, which is why I hesitated before," Rosette said, smiling. Chrono smiled. He then winced hard and clutched his chest. He began coughing and blood ran down his chin. Rosette gasped. "Chrono!" She cried. Azmaria ran in.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"It's Chrono... he's sick," Rosette said. Azmarai stretched out her wings.
"Don't! It's okay... I'm... fine," Chrono said, breathing hard. Rosette was still worried and clutched the watch pendant around her neck. An evil aura filled the room. It seemed to be coming from Chrono. Azmaria began to sing. Light shown everywhere and surpressed the evil. Azmaria fell to the floor and Rosette knelt down next to her.
"Azmaria! What happened?" Rosette asked. Azmaria began to get up again.
"It's this evil... it's too strong. I didn't even feel this much evil when Chrono turned into his devil form," she replied. She managed to stand up and Rosette held on to her right arm. Chrono was breathing normally again but still wincing and sweating.
"I wish I knew what to do..." Rosette said.
Lina: I know, it's short, but there will be more chapters to come! So keep watching!
Chrono: yeah!
